Wüsthof Amici
The starting point for Wüsthof's wonderful Amici collection was 'la dolce vital: the sweet life. Good food and drinks, socialising with family and friends and feeling good about yourself. That is what Wüsthof wants to convey with this collection. Each knife is more than just a tool. It symbolises the joy of cooking and spending time together with family and friends. Hence the name: Amici. It is a tradition that is handed down from generation to generation. The knives are a combination of quality, aesthetics and the experience of producing kitchen knives.
Features of the Wüsthof Amici series
The Amici series combines craftsmanship with distinctive style. Every knife has flowing lines from blade to handle, giving it an understated, refined look. These are also fully capable kitchen knives, made for comfortable, controlled use. The full bolster helps keep your hand from slipping towards the blade as you cut. Thanks to the full tang construction, balance is excellent and cutting feels light and comfortable.
The Amici series includes kitchen knives ranging from chef's knives to bread knives, as well as knife sets. Ideal if you value appearance and the pleasure of use as much as quality and sharpness.
X50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade
The blade is forged from a single piece of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. This steel is known for its fine cutting properties, good corrosion resistance and hardness of approximately 58 HRC. It retains its sharpness well while being easy to sharpen yourself. As you would expect from Wüsthof, these knives are also sharpened with laser precision.
Calabrian olive wood handle
The handle is made from Calabrian olive wood, a natural material with a unique grain pattern. No two knives are exactly alike. The wood feels warm and the handle fits comfortably in the hand. To keep it looking its best, wash the knife by hand and dry it immediately.
